Skyline Security

This is my personal experience as  technician for this company in Miami . They promised me I'd be working part time making $800 to $1000 a week. DON'T FALL FOR THERE LIES!!! Didn't even come close.... They SAY  let me know whatever you need get you whatever and you end up paying for it or going half. Sales reps will LIE SAY ANYTHING TO GET YOU DO AN INSTALL!  THEY MAKE 900 WHILE YOUR ON CALL ALL WEEK WHILE THEY BRING YOU 1 OR 2 jobs! Making less than 300 and DRIVING TO EGYPT. You will squander your time in hopes of making money! Sales reps sell you the dream about you selling... how when you have services and you have to run to install for them when they get a sale.They had me working for 2 months. Then they brought another technician while I wasn't getting ANYTHING and most of the sells they got  were canceling because people were catching on to the lies they tell them. My own manager wants me to go train with the veteran technician they brought in because I stood up for myself. It's going on 3 weeks. They says there no jobs while you do tedious services all the way in Egypt. Your regional and even if you work directly with skyline to sell.  They won't answer your calls so you can get setup to make money own your selling and installing they want you ONLY BEING ON CALL FOR THE REPS . Don't even waste your time believing anything they tell you! RUNWAY!!!! IF YOU WANT TO GET YOUR HOPES UP AND END UP RIGHT BACK WHERE YOU STARTED BE MY GUEST BECAUSE SOMEBODY WARNED YOU. I WISH I WAS! THE REALLY SAD PART IS THEY WONT EVEN BE HONEST. THEY JUST KEEP YOU WAITING LIKE YOUR GOING TO GET INSTALLS....

This is definitely the place to be if you are looking to be part of a culture that promotes entrepreneurship, leadership, and growth.

You have no limits in where you want to grow within the company. Their pay plan is one of the best in the industry and they attract talent into their company. If you like sales, and care about protecting families and their homes then this is the Alarm company to work for.

I was successful during the time I was with them and learned so much about the business and appreciated the interactions and guidance I had from the CEO. I met some incredible leaders in Skyline that taught me some invaluable lessons about business, life and success. 

Starting from the CEO to their Vice President of Sales and Regional Managers they are all exemplars of what success is suppose to be in this business. 

I would say everyone who is on their Managements positions on the sales side, all make minimum of a six figure income commission base.  

My advice if you are interested in sales and are interested in taking your sales career to the next level don't hesitate but consider joining Skyiine. It will not be easy but worth your investment of your time if you apply what they teach you and is not afraid of hard work.

Typical day at work includes meeting with sales associates, 30 minute discussion or training sessions on alarm sales techniques and equipment features, and then after a short break, call customer list for 1 hour, then follow map to speak with customers about upgrading their security systems until later in the evening. I learned how to negotiate prices and cross-sell products. Co-workers were always a thrill to be around, and truly interesting to observe different sales styles. The most difficult part of the job is the heavy amount of walking and attempting to talk to 100 customers per day. There were times that other security teams had covered the area merely the previous week, which made it difficult to find customers who hadn't already renewed their contracts with another company before we arrived. The most enjoyable part of the job is securing families with an improved security system and feeling that all of the hard work from earlier that week and earlier that day had actually made a difference in the life of our customers.

The morning meetings are uplifting and the people here are great and so is the energy. Unfortunately the way the pay structure isn't for everyone. It's all purely commission based, not hourly. The only way to get paid is to set up appointments (as a setter) with potential clients and have your manager make a sale for the both of you so that you BOTH get paid. If you're not really a people person then this job isn't for you. This job requires a lot of face to face interaction and if you can't manage to get any customers then you wont be getting paid at all even if your out in the field for 8+ hours. There's definitely a chance to make good money but say goodbye to any personal time for yourself to spend time with friends or family sine you'll be at work form most of your day. It's a great way to meet new people but not really stable in terms of making solid reliable income.

What is the best part of working at the company?
There is no support to have stability in a growing area. Midwest seems to be a slow area. Sales Reps pick and chose who they use a tech and not by the performance of the tech. Organization within the company lacks. They promote numbers, vs making sure the install is done correctly. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No stability or support, depending on sales reps to like you to gets jobs. That’s not ethical. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stressful, unorganized, unsupported, these all create an environment and culture of a company. If these are missing, there isn’t a culture or environment that I can support. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Waiting around for jobs to come in, or nothing because reps are not selling.

Currently working here when you enter the interview right from the get go everyone is very charismatic and polite and always talking about helping others and being better. They drill the idea of helping people and you only get payed in a commission I've spent hours working and haven't made money in days sometimes and sometimes you make good profit in less than a whole day. I would recommend working here if you just finished high school and need experience. If you stay know it's a long process and don't expect anything Short. Put in the work and learn everyone is supportive and understanding and I'm very thankful for that. Just know it's a commission pay so keep that in mind

What is the best part of working at the company?
There is not a good part,you are over worked and under paid.

Dealing with upset customers that were lied to, into their new agreement. Request to cancel. Equipment issues. Service request.

Everyday was fun, we made it that way, I learned everyday was always gonna be a challenge no matter what but at the same time with my long time experience in this field I knew it was also gonna be a fun & end a great day. Just cause I believe in what I'm doing for customers daily & the product truly works. i just love helping people. I think in the end that's why I've continued year after year for 9 years to stay in the alarm industry. As long as I'm helping someone by the end of the day it's a great job to me.

Work at sklyline can be stressful , I can say thet provided classes to learn about the product . The management is not to friendly cause they make more then others they think they are better an have more important things to handle. the pay rate is very bad an the benefits are supper high with expense. the best part of the job is if you like helping people you will help lots nation wide.

i join the team at skyline not know what to expect.I learn how to work closely with a group a people striving to achieve their goals. while learning to help families get protected for their Home security needs. While at the company I was able to learn more about personal safety team building exercises motivational  practices. more in recruiting training other to help with proper securing of homes and or Businesses.. i feel improve my customer service skills while working at Skyline.
